karl99r Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Hi I'm replacing the head gasket on my '98 XT600 and wanted to check whether I can use the T mark on the flywheel which is TDC for timing the camshaft. The manual assumes you'll have the whole engine in bits and referrs to aligning the dot on the camchain drive sprocket with a mark on the case. The problem of course is that this is all behind the flywheel and I dont really want to have to remove the left hand cover and flywheel to get access.

Moderator YamaHead Posted November 17, 2008 Moderator Share Posted November 17, 2008 to the forum Karl If you set your XT to TDC BEFORE you tear it down, then during re-assembly....install the cam sprocket as the manual noted.....You should have NO probs!.....Just did this with my 550 over the weekend.
